Abstract
A cell collecting device include a pipette tip that sucks substances in a cell culture container, a first valve connected to the pipette tip through a first flow path, a first pump connected to the first valve through a second flow path, and a second pump connected to the first valve through a third flow path. In a remove mode, the first valve is switched to connect the first flow path and the second flow path to each other and disconnect the third flow path, and the first pump is driven to discharge waste in the cell culture container, that has been sucked from the pipette tip, from a drain of the first pump through the first flow path and the second flow path, and in a picking mode, the first valve is switched to connect the first flow path and the third flow path to each other and disconnect the second flow path, and the second pump is driven to suck cells in the cell culture container using the pipette tip.
